Publisher's note

In "iWant, "investigative journalist and author Jane Velez-Mitchell traces her unique quest for an addiction-free life over the course of many years, detailing her struggles to stop drinking, smoking, overeating, and overworking. During this journey, Velez-Mitchell comes closer to discovering her authentic self, embracing her ethnic identity and accepting her true sexual orientation. With layers upon layers of addictions removed, she is able to distinguish between what she "wants "and what she truly "needs," and ultimately confronts her addiction across the board-Overconsumption.
Using the 12 Steps in every aspect of her life, Velez-Mitchell shares how she shed many of the self-destructive habits that plague Americans, habits responsible for a host of social ills from the obesity crisis to environmental wreckage. She admits to having been one of the 300 million Americans who shops and acquires addictively and describes how the 12 Steps have put her on the road toward shedding unnecessary material possessions and limiting waste-despite a society that glorifies excess.
While her journey is ongoing and she is still seeking answers, the culmination of Velez-Mitchell's work to date is having held the first Overconsumers Anonymous meeting, in which she and others like her admit to being powerless over this very real addiction and are ready to adopt a more spiritually fulfilling, economical, and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Drawing from her personal experiences with a wide range of addictions, a nationally recognized television personality empowers addicts of all kinds to confront the underlying issues that are masked by their addictions and create new habits that lead to happiness and fulfillment. 20,000 first printing.

Annotation

There have been countless memoirs from people who have overcome addictions to alcohol, drugs, eating, shopping, or working, but journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell may be the first person who claims to have beaten all five. Velez-Mitchell, a popular reporter for Headline News and other cable channels, fearlessly shares the details of her battle with obsessive behavior, which she finally conquered by recognizing that the various objects of her addictions were of secondary importance to the fundamental deficiency in her personality which was causing her compulsion. By coming to terms with her sexuality and her unique ethnic heritage, she was able to finally learn to nurture and cherish her inner qualities and stop seeking superficial satisfaction from outside sources.
